Introduction to load generators

Load generators represent a tool that may be used for simplified definition of load. They provide for the transformation of load from specified load area into a given planar section of the structure. It is also possible to use generators to determine wind or snow load per given vertical section of the structure. The generation of wind and snow load can be performed directly to a specific national technical standard or according to a user-defined snow weight of wind distribution along the height of the building. Arbitrary polygonal areas can be used to define the load area for recalculation of the load into a planar section.
